Ah, the delicate dance of hygiene—an art so misunderstood, yet so desperately needed (especially in a packed gay club at 3 AM). This week, Samir and Petar embark on a whirlwind discussion that somehow connects Drag Race Thailand, Renaissance era architecture, and the tragic state of (penile) hygiene in the gay community, namely, how the norm has become smelling like a moldy Gorgonzola blue cheese which has aged in a cold dark cellar for a century. We break down the far-right’s weird obsession with “Western cultural superiority,” dive into the surprisingly grim stats on the percentage of people who do NOT wash their hands after using the bathroom in Europe, and talk about why many men think deodorant is optional. Plus, a crash course on Sex and the City (and why gay men are now all acting like SATC's worst straight men), the legacy of 80s-90s gay history on modern gay relationships and desirability standards, and how Marina Satti is single-handedly inspiring at least one of our hosts to take Greek language lessons (on Duolingo, for now). Grab some deodorant, wash your hands, and prepare for an episode that will leave you equal parts enlightened and horrified.
